Automounted file systems are controlled by the automount daemon (service autofs) And are typically controlled by the file /etc/auto.master (do an ls /etc/auto.*) Automount is typically used for remote file shares (like network shares). Whereas fstab is used for local partitions. What command are you running to mount /mnt/dwin and who are you running that command as? -Mike
